The wardrobe was massive and a god damn awful pain in the arse to unbuild (and too big to take to the tip in our tiny car) but it had to be done, leaving this gross wallpaper and possibly damage all the way to the original plaster from ca. 1907.
The shelving tracks on the right are ancient and the screws just wont budge at all. There's half a dozen layers of paint and wallpaper making it worse (you can see how deep it goes where the shelves have been in place even longer). Any ideas on decimating some old ass screws would be cool. We can afford to hire or borrow powertools if that's necessary.
EDIT oh we peeled some of it back and the plaster is fucked to the brick lmao
My go to is hammer, screwdriver, penetrating fluid. Soak the screw with fluid, wait a few minutes, then place the screwdriver onto the screw and tap the end with the hammer. If that doesn't work, electric impact it out. If that doesn't work, ez outs. If that doesn't work, sledgehammer.
